DOVE MEN+CARE LAUNCHES “CARE MAKES A DAD” THIS FATHER’S DAY
Care Makes a Dad:
The new campaign from the men’s grooming brand will spotlight stories of the caring role that father figures play in the lives of so many
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J. /PRNewswire/ — Every year, Father’s Day celebrates wonderful dads across the country. However, the role of dad can take many forms – and powerhouse men’s grooming brand Dove Men+Care is shining a light on that for Father’s Day this year.
New research commissioned by Dove Men+Care found that 70% of people have an impactful father figure in their life, but only 10% regularly celebrate them on Father’s Day. That’s why Dove Men+Care is recognizing the stepfathers, foster fathers, godfathers, brothers, coaches, friends, teachers and more this Father’s Day that have played the role of an impactful father figure through their unconditional care – the living proof that Care Makes a Difference. Care Makes A Dad.
To ignite this conversation, Dove Men+Care released a new film “Care Makes a Dad“. The film showcases the real stories of kids from across the U.S. and the special bonds they share with their father figures, who rise to the occasion every day to make a difference in their lives.
“We’re thrilled to bring attention to the unsung heroes of Father’s Day,” says Alejandro Fiecconi, Global Head of Brand for Dove Men+Care at Unilever. “There are children with father figures in their lives who mean the world to them, show up for them, support them. These men exemplify care. We wanted to give these men a round of applause – even if they didn’t ask for one.”
Joining this celebration is father figure and professional basketball player Nah’Shon Lee “Bones” Hyland. Bones has been a father figure to his cousin Izzy since a tragic incident brought them closer together when Izzy was a baby, creating an inseparable bond. Bones’ compassion and commitment to doing what’s right every day makes him a role model and hero to Izzy, and exemplifies the ways care makes a difference. Together, with five other father figures – from teachers, stepfathers, and grandfathers – they remind us that Care Makes a Dad.
“It’s an honor to be featured in this campaign,” says Bones Hyland. “My cousin Izzy is one of the most important people in my life. He’s like a son to me. I’ll be there for him every step of the way any way I can.”
Ogilvy, who led creative development of the campaign, shares more on the evolution of the campaign. “This year, building on our commitment to celebrate and champion the transformative care that all dads can give, we’re throwing the definition of fatherhood open wide,” says Rob Butcher, Global Creative Director, Dove Men+Care for Ogilvy. “This campaign celebrates all the men who step up to care out of choice. Coaches, uncles, adoptive fathers and community dads who show that care makes all the difference to the children in their lives.”
Dove Men+Care is bringing the ethos of the film to real life to spark a change on those we should recognize on Father’s Day and beyond by:
- Launching the “Celebrate ALL Father Figures”sweepstakes – a chance for everyone to recognize a father figure who has made a difference. Select winners will be featured in a full-page ad in The New York Times following Father’s Day.
- How to enter: Post a photo on Instagram featuring you and your father figure! It could be your dad, stepdad, uncle, coach, or anyone who played a significant role in your life.

- Hosting a special Celebrate ALL Father Figures pop-up event in New York City on June 14th. Fit for the whole family, loved ones and the community to gather with their father figures, create special mementos for the holiday, and have a chance to participate in mini photo-shoots that reshape the literal picture of what it means to be a DAD. The event will take place from 2 PM to 6 PM at the 91st Street Plaza between 2nd and 3rd Avenue. Images captured will also be eligible for the sweepstakes.

Diva Fam Inc. Announces Voluntary Recall of True Sea Moss “Sea Moss Gel Superfood” Products Due to Possible Health Risk
Diva Fam Inc. is recalling all True Sea Moss Sea Moss Gel Superfood flavors nationwide due to missing pH/temperature records and potential botulism risk.
Diva Fam Inc.. announced a voluntary recall of all lots and flavors of its True Sea Moss brand Sea Moss Gel Superfood due to a lack of required regulatory authorization and temperature monitoring records for pH-controlled food products, according to a company statement released January 9, 2026.
The company said the recall applies to products manufactured prior to January 9, 2026. The manufacture date (MFD) is indicated on the can lid in MM/YYYY format.
Why the products are being recalled

Botulism is a rare but serious illness that can affect the nervous system. Symptoms may include general weakness, dizziness, double vision, difficulty speaking or swallowing, and, in severe cases, difficulty breathing or muscle weakness.

A Legacy of Service: How family stories shape service
Legacy of Service: Discover how military service creates lasting family legacies across generations. Explore powerful veteran stories from the Veterans History Project, including Pearl Harbor survivors and Code Talkers, and learn how to preserve your family’s service history.
A Legacy of Service: How family stories shape service
(Family Features) Major historical events like war or military service make a lasting impact on family identity, values and traditions, often reverberating across multiple generations. Veterans frequently speak about their military units as if they were family, given the unbreakable bonds that develop between comrades. However, for some veterans, “brothers in arms” is more than a figurative turn of phrase. Throughout the 20th century, entire families felt the firsthand effects of war, with multiple generations serving. Brothers enlisted together. A father’s military legacy inspired his children to join up. Sweethearts met and married while in uniform. These stories not only illustrate the experiences of individual veterans but also provide an intimate glimpse into family legacies of military service. Consider the Veterans History Project, a program overseen by the Library of Congress, which collects and preserves the firsthand remembrances of U.S. military veterans and makes them accessible for future generations to better understand veterans’ service and sacrifice. These personal stories encompass original correspondence, memoirs, diaries, photographs and oral history interviews, all offering deeper insight into the long-term impact of military service. Veterans’ narratives are collected by volunteers, and anyone who served from World War I to today can submit their personal story, regardless of whether or not they saw combat. The collections frequently shed light on the importance of family in military experiences. Whether expressed through heartfelt letters home, enduring family legacies of service or the experience of serving alongside loved ones, these stories reflect profound connections.
Family Identity During the Cold War, Jennifer McNeill rose from Army Dental Assistant to Command Sergeant Major at the Army Eisenhower Medical Center in Fort Gordon, Georgia. Her collection includes a poignant photograph of her mother sharing images of her four military daughters in uniform, underscoring how family identity and military service are closely connected. Values Military service makes a lasting impression on veterans, shaping the experiences and the values that guide them through life. Ray Chavez is one such example. He was the oldest known Pearl Harbor survivor before his passing in 2018. For most of his life, he remained silent about his experiences, but in 1991, his daughter, Kathleen Chavez, who served in the U.S. Navy during Desert Storm, convinced him to return to Pearl Harbor. That trip marked the first time he spoke openly about his service. Kathleen shared their family’s deep military legacy in her oral history for the Veterans History Project. Traditions Across Generations Serving in the military is a deeply personal journey, but for many veterans, it’s an experience that transcends generations. Bill Toledo enlisted in the Marine Corps in October 1942 at the age of 18. Along with his uncle, Frank Toledo, and cousin, Preston Toledo, he served as a Code Talker transmitting military messages through secret codes. In his oral history, Bill vividly recalled both the challenges of combat during the invasion of Iwo Jima in February 1945, and the treasured moments spent with his uncle. These and many other family stories of military service and remembrance are available to the public at loc.gov/vets. Photo courtesy of Shutterstock (men looking at scrapbook)
